The 657 revs/mile is what the factory speedo seems to be set at, based on someone else's post, and my own observations looking at the tach and the speedo. True ground-speed depends on your actual tires.

Hope this helps.

This looks good in the edit preview, but I don't think it will fair so well in the post . . .

You're welcome. Its too bad the columns don't line up . . I copied from an excel spreadsheet I set up to compare the getrag, nv4500, and nv5600 with and without a US gear splitter . . .

Don't have the money for that swap yet, though . . .
